Re: Why?

  Whenever possible I always scheduled my prewire for the day after the
other tradesmen finish their rough-in.  That would be the day before the
insulators arrived.  Olson's point of bringing his own insulation was a good
suggestion.  On most residential jobs we would have enough folks on site to
prewire inb one day.  Finish work would typically run one to two days.  The
lead tech would handle training and collect the payment if finishing early
enough.  Otherwise I'd do it.

  On larger jobs the cost of another day or two on site was simply part of
the price.  This worked for me.  YMMV.
